The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a level landscape with a small NW-SE stream c. 70m to the NE. The cropmark of an enclosure (diam. c. 18m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on aerial photographs (MM (46) 4-7; (49) 11, 12, 24-5). It appears to be open at S where a small ring-ditch (WX047-133003-) would appear to block the entrance. Ring-ditch (WX047-133002-) is attached to the perimeter at NE. It is also visible on the OSI series of aerial photographs (2000),
